Users can't delete their print jobs

Hi guys,
I got one Windows 2003 based print server. All installed printers are TCPTCPTCP/IP based and shared for users. I am having following issues with this printing system.
- Most of the time users send jobs to any printer but instead of printing it just gets stuck in the print queue despite of no issues with the network or printer itself.
- Once a single print job gets stuck no one else can print any document as there print-job waits for the first job to finish.
- If a user tries to delete his own print-job he can't do it. He doesn't get any error message but instead job remains in the queue giving the status "deleting" but remains there forever.
Could some one please assist me how to resolve the mentioned issues and fine-tune my print server?
Your helpful assistance will highly be appreciated.

review the users rights to the print queue.
